These pretzels are making me thirsty....interesting (read: delicious and thirst-quenching) methodology presented here. What's so great about Phish 2012 as far as I can tell is that preference is starting to outweigh objectivity, so that one's preference for one show becomes more or less equally valid to another's preference for another show without much by way of objectivity to give the former more credence than the latter. In that case, could we possibly be reaching Phish 4.0? Thanks for your incredible effort here Chris, a fun read at the very least.

My minuscule contribution: Deer Creek night 1 as my favorite of four shows from DC> AV. 'Waves' and 'BOTT' from said night seem underemphasized in the review, which is certainly understandable considering the vast amount of awesome Chris attempted to review in one sitting.
